Bug Description

Whenever I shutdown Ubuntu, my computer reboots instead of shutting down. This happens either shutting down:
- from the shut down menu
- pressing the power button and selecting Shut Down in the dialog
- issuing sudo shutdown -h NOW

Running a uname -a gives:
andy@argherna-01:~$ uname -a
Linux argherna-01 2.6.35-27-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 20:25:29 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

andy@argherna-01:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

My hardware is a Gateway 450 ROG (old laptop). I freshly installed 10.10 due to a failed upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. Thanks for your help.

Andy Gherna, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Maverick reached EOL on April 10, 2012.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We were wondering if this is still an issue in a supported release? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

This is no longer an issue for me since I have a new laptop and I'm
using ubuntu 12.04. It can be marked as closed.
